Maui Initiation Itinerary (6 Days)

This itinerary covered our first visit to Maui. It was kind of a spontaneous trip where Julie apparently took advantage of some travel deal that included car rental, all accommodations, and airfare. Since we were travel newbies at the time, it was a pretty suitable late Summer trip, and it turned out to be a great and relaxing way to experience the island of Maui. In fact, the memories of this trip stimulated a series of trips to the Hawaiian Islands years later. I'd imagine many other people visiting the Hawaiian Islands tended to get similar experiences, which is probably why it has to be one of the most popular destinations in the world, especially amongst Americans looking to escape harsh Winters in the Eastern States or even for us West Coast folks where it's a pretty quick 5- to 6-hour flight from LAX.
